“And she is cold. She is a serpent too. And her repulsive, searing, overlapping Snake scales have wounded me as few things do. If only I could feel a sharp sting twinging! / But she is flaccid, still, with dull veneer. She is so like a lump, so very sluggish. One cannot get to her; she cannot hear. / Coiling around me, stubborn, insinuating, / She hugs and strangles me, crushing me whole. / And this thing that’s so dead, so black, so frightful - This wretched, loathesome thing is called my soul.”

— Zinaida Nikolaevna Gippius, from Collection of Poems. Book 2. 1903-1909; “What is Sin,” (via violentwavesofemotion)
